Guest IshmaelDS Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I need help finding a good log software. I have an issue with my 2k3 server that is not being caught by the event viewer. This server is running a Progress DB so I need it to be rather lightweight but fairly intensive as well. I'm not sure what the issue is, The system says it's rebooting but it doesn't reboot physically. When I log in it asks me why it shut down as it would from a unexpected shutdown and the event viewer says that it shut down but there are logs in the application viewer from seconds after the unextected shutdown and when i arrive at the server it's been less then 30 seconds and the system is back up with the DB's loaded. It's very odd. If you have any ideas that could be causing the shutdown's or know of a good logging software that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Guest IshmaelDS Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging There is no dump file because the system isn't actually rebooting. I'll turn off auto reboot and see if that gives any better error messages. Any suggestions on some better loggin system then event viewer?

Guest IshmaelDS Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging I agree it's very strange. That's why i'm asking the community if they have any ideas or software that will possibly log the error.
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging Can you check in your eventlog for the lasts 6005 event (eventlog source) ? -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "IshmaelDS" <ishmaelds@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1187729655.811522.302750@q3g2000prf.googlegroups.com... >I agree it's very strange.

Guest IshmaelDS Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging Event Type: Information Event Source: EventLog Event Category: None Event ID: 6005 Date: 8/20/2007 Time: 12:12:09 PM User: N/A Computer: APPRISE Description: The Event log service was started. Along with this there are a bunch of other services that started that look as if it rebooted. I just know it didn't. If i was to trust the event viewer I would say it rebooted. But I got dissconnected from it and walked over to the server and logged in in less than 30 seconds while the server takes at least 5 minutes to reboot. It's very strange. I'm wondering if the system service was to stop if it may create this same behaviour when it restarted.
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging what is the uptime of the server (from the task manager, check "system idle process" cpu time) -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "IshmaelDS" <ishmaelds@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1187737425.293435.210680@i13g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > Event Type: Information > Event Source: EventLog > Event Category: None > Event ID: 6005 > Date: 8/20/2007 > Time: 12:12:09 PM > User: N/A > Computer: APPRISE > Description: > The Event log service was started. > > Along with this there are a bunch of other services that started that > look as if it rebooted.

Guest IshmaelDS Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Windows Server 2003 Logging Currently the CPU time for system idle is 53:41:05. The problem has happened in the last 24 hours. Another note is that it seems that it could be releated to TS/RDP as it seems to only have happened when somone is logging in via RDP. As it stands this is relativly circumstantial but I'm going to continue to look into it. Just thought it might help.
